THE LEGAL AID BUREAU OF BUFFALO, INC., BUFFALO (SHERRY A. CHASE OF COUNSEL), FOR DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

JOHN J. FLYNN, DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BUFFALO (MICHAEL J. HILLERY OF COUNSEL), FOR RESPONDENT.

Appeal from a judgment of the Erie County Court (Kenneth F. Case, J.), rendered January 2, 2015. The judgment convicted defendant, upon a plea of guilty, of robbery in the first degree.

It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from is unanimously affirmed.

Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him, upon his plea of guilty, of robbery in the first degree (Penal Law

§ 160.15 [3]). Contrary to defendant's contention, he validly waived his right to appeal (see People v Thomas, 34 NY3d 545, 559-560 [2019], cert denied — US — , 140 S Ct 2634 [2020]). Defendant's challenge to the severity of his sentence is foreclosed by his valid waiver of the right to appeal (see People v Lopez, 6 NY3d 248, 255 [2006]).

Entered: November 13, 2020

Clerk of the Court
